What is it about sex that makes it responsible for so much trouble?
Why is sex so enticing – making unknown and some known risks secondary, in moments before it?
What is wrong sex and what makes it wrong?
What is right sex and what makes it right?
Why is there no switch for sex in a way that makes patience till one man and one woman marriage, or fidelity in the union possible?
Why is sex not just for procreation?
The news of catastrophic evil because of sex continues to cause great pain in many hearts. Sex drives so much globally, it’s almost its own dictatorship.
The hold of sex and its influential power is dangerous for anyone it possesses. Sex is intelligent but can make its people dumb. Availability for possession by sex is precipitous.
Generalizing about sex may be important to see it beyond a niche activity. It’s an existential experience. The forms of sex are numerous.
For lots of people around the world, NO is hard to take – for sex. But NO is not just the problem. There are problematic YES’ too.
There are promoters of free sex. There are those who say chastity. There are pretenders. And there are those with sexual formulas.
But the situation of sex in the world also point to two things, choice and temporariness.
The individual who seeks wrong sex – in whatever context conjoins with choice, directly or indirectly.
The individuals that experience nonviolent sex – submits to its policy of temporal good and no storage.
The extremity of sex makes it unlikely that there can’t be what should be accepted to be right sex.

Some cultures, laws, groups or beliefs have their boundaries for what is right.
Sex is naturally deregulated. It is not impossible to say that those promoting sex with multiple people – even if consensual contributes – directly or indirectly – to sexual evil.
Christianity says marriage only sex, and one marriage till death.
This is foolishness to many people – may be – because compliance is hard; but that messaging for those who adhere is another potential for sexual evil cancelled out.
Christianity understands the power of sex, and has tools to fight the pull. Christianity – possibly – accepts that everything in this world is difficult, only made easy – for those in the Faith, by grace.
The Scriptures that says GOD sustains to wake up after sleep is recognition of a natural event in life that could take a wrong turn, but Christians thank JESUS for preservation.
What is easy for one is hard for another, so nothing in this life is easy for everyone. Accepting the Christian Faith – a choice, and staying is also not easy.
Yes, there’s divine help, it does not mean lack of knowledge or those who reject the faith know better.
How much do atheists know? And if they know more than everyone else, how far can they see?
Some atheist of a few score decades ago, who were brilliant philosophers or scientists, are not as exposed – or may be able to reach a higher thought level than many now, with just a smartphone.
In the maximum of their understanding they said there is no GOD. Now some people say the same.
GOD, the Creator, is a Spirit.
It is a choice to be an atheist. It takes an understanding to believe atheism.
But understanding, like what can be felt, seen, or heard is limited. Faith, the Christian Faith is unlimited.
Anytime people emerge as enlightened against Christianity, they forget what a century means.
There are people in the Christian Faith who obtained mercy through sickness, failure, trouble, or rejection.
The Christian Faith may not answer all questions – of some, satisfactorily, or provide all wants immediately, but its validation is not in the understanding of anyone on earth.
Freedom from sexual discipline has been costly to this world. Sooner or later, many will understand that fighting Christianity is a combustible for increase in evil.
